Final Thoughts
Tsunuki The First marked the rebirth of Mars’ second distillery in Kagoshima Prefecture, an area known for its warm climate. On the nose, it presents tropical fruit, banana, papaya, and vanilla, with a whisper of coastal salt. The palate is lively and vibrant, delivering pineapple, honey, malt sweetness, and gentle oak spice, with a creamy texture that expands on the tongue. The finish is medium, with lingering fruit, vanilla, and spice. Best enjoyed neat, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, tropical desserts, or mild cheeses. This expression proves Mars can produce both highland and coastal styles with equal finesse.
